“We are aware,” the maid said. “That being said, if my mistress were to discover that she was deceived…”

The rest was left unsaid to leave plenty to the imagination. While the power behind that threat was at war, in his element, they saw no need to volunteer that detail.

A black haired beauty with fair skin and piercing green eyes, with a formal gown and corset, along with a jacket stands away from the door. Meanwhile a blonde hair and blue eyed maid is berating the hotel courtier. Setting and clothing appropriate for 1914.

Who's this? Anna Hunter is a guest that has the dubious distinction of having checked out at The Grand, but never checking in.

She develops a physical relationship with Lewis, the day shirt's conserige, who is sad to see her go. #EvelynsWorld

“This is the best room we have… for now,” the courtier said. “The hotel is still under—(construction).”

“We are aware,” the maid said. “That being said, if my mistress were to discover that she was deceived…”

“Is the lady displeased?” The courtier asked.

“She is,” the younger one said. “This room barely qualifies as furnished.”

One weapon in their arsenal is time . They experience the passage of time at a much slower rate than humans. #EvelynsWorld

The courtier opened the pristine white doors with gold trim leading into the suite on the fourth floor of what would be known as The Grand. When he moved out of the way a black haired beauty with fair skin and piercing green eyes walked inside...

Dijon and Maple Salmon

This #Recipe is a delightful combination of #Dijon #Mustard, #MapleSyrup, sweet #Onions and #Garlic. Once the #Salmon is baked, it creates a heavenly fusion of flavour. Sweet and tangy, every bite is different from the last. I love it! #Recipes
